In Episode 409 of Friends Talking Nerdy, hosts Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive deep into a heartfelt and wide-ranging discussion that spans Hollywood, professional wrestling, and British sci-fi.The episode opens with a tribute to the legendary actor Val Kilmer, who recently passed away. Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd reflect on Kilmer's diverse and iconic filmography, sharing personal stories and thoughts on his most memorable performances. From the enigmatic Jim Morrison in The Doors to the cool intellect of Real Genius, the hosts explore Kilmer's range and charisma. They praise his unforgettable turn as Doc Holliday in Tombstone, his magical role in Willow, and even delve into the controversy and stylistic flair of Batman Forever. The discussion takes a thought-provoking turn as they examine The Chaos Experiment, a lesser-known film with eerie relevance to today's U.S. political climate, underscoring Kilmer's later-career choices and the unexpected legacy some of his work may leave. Naturally, no conversation about Kilmer would be complete without mentioning Top Gun, a film that helped define an era and cemented Kilmer's place in pop culture history.Next, Tim the Nerd switches gears to the squared circle as he offers his insights into the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame inductees. He celebrates the long-overdue induction of Triple H, reflecting on his in-ring legacy and behind-the-scenes influence. Tim also discusses Michelle McCool's contributions to the women's division, the undeniable charisma and strength of Lex Luger, and the tag-team chaos brought by The Natural Disasters—Earthquake and Typhoon. A special segment is devoted to the induction of one of wrestling's most iconic moments: Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13—an induction not of a person, but of a legendary match that defined the Attitude Era. Tim explores how this match's storytelling and in-ring psychology continue to influence professional wrestling to this day.Finally, the episode wraps up with Tim sharing his initial reactions to the new season of Doctor Who on Disney+. Despite high hopes, he expresses disappointment, critiquing a perceived disconnect between the show's creative intentions and what actually makes it to screen. Tim explores how Doctor Who's new direction may be missing the emotional and narrative impact longtime fans expect, offering a thoughtful take on what's working and what's falling short.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, your go-to source for smart, thoughtful coverage of the entire wrestling landscape — from the bright lights of WWE and AEW to NJPW, TNA, and the vibrant indie scene. This is Episode 120, and it's our WrestleMania Week Megapreview — the most stacked episode of the year for the most stacked week of the year. We kick things off in Las Vegas with WrestleMania 41, and we've got your full match-by-match breakdown across both nights at Allegiant Stadium. From the decade-in-the-making Triple Threat between Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins, to Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena, Gunther vs. Jey Uso, and Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair, this Mania card might be one of the most balanced and compelling we've seen in years. But Mania is just the start. We also spotlight the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025, with Triple H, Lex Luger, and Michelle McCool getting their flowers — and a special nod to the legendary Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin submission match from WrestleMania 13, now enshrined as the first-ever “Immortal Moment.” Then it's over to NXT Stand & Deliver, where the next generation looks to steal the weekend. We've got Oba Femi defending the NXT Title, a chaotic ladder match to crown the first Women's North American Champion, and crossover talent from TNA and NJPW thrown into the mix. From there, we pivot to the AEW side of things — and it's anything but quiet. PAC's latest injury has reshuffled the deck, and now Jon Moxley finds himself pulling double duty, defending both the AEW World Title and the Trios Championships. The Owen Hart Foundation Tournament is heating up too, with semifinal showdowns set: Will Ospreay vs. Konosuke Takeshita, Mercedes Moné vs. Athena, and more. Plus, The Hurt Syndicate (Lashley & Benjamin) are rolling, while Chris Jericho steps away from AEW — for now. We'll also take you through the key fallout from NJPW Windy City Riot, where Hiroshi Tanahashi wrestled his final U.S. match in an emotional clash with Konosuke Takeshita. Plus, Tomohiro Ishii claims gold in a brutal Iron Man Match, and Hirooki Goto continues his reign atop NJPW. And don't worry — we're not skipping the indies. Vegas is a wrestling playground this week. From the no-ropes chaos of Bloodsport XIII, to the glam of Effy's Big Gay Brunch 10, the spectacle of WrestleCon, and the unhinged insanity of Joey Janela's Spring Break, we run through every major show you should have on your radar — including talent, match cards, and where to stream it all. We wrap things up with your Las Vegas survival guide: How far is Allegiant from the Strip? What's the best way to get from Pearl Theater to T-Mobile Arena? Where to eat between sessions? And what's streaming on Peacock vs. FITE vs. Wrestle Universe?

Here is your Pro Wrestling News Report for April 9, 2025. Running Time: 49 Minutes.  Note from DT: Originally I had no desire to do this news update. But you will hear within the first 15 minutes why I changed my mind. No matter what was going on, Kev always did everything he could for the show to go on. Even in his final hour, he was thinking about Monday's DTKC Show and all of you. I legit heard Kev Castle in my heart yelling at me to get off my ass and do this for everyone. He always did. Topics covered in this report include:  More on the passing of our fallen friend Kevin Castle, the amazing tributes pouring in for Kev, The DTKC Family going forward, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone WWE announces Kamala, Ivan Koloff and Dory Funk, Sr for 2025 WWE Hall Of Fame: Legacy Wing Less than two weeks before it happens, Lex Luger claims WWE hasn't responded about Sting inducting him into Hall Of Fame. Tony Khan claims he hasn't spoken with Sting about the Luger induction. And Sting hasn't contacted TK about inducting Luger. Do you believe them?

Marc Mero is a three-time WCW World Television Champion, former WWE Intercontinental Champion and four-time New York State Golden Gloves amateur boxing champion. Finding fame in the world of sports entertainment as Johnny B. Badd, Marc retired from professional wrestling in 2006 after discovering his new purpose in life: motivational speaking. As the founder of non-profit organization Champion ofChoices, Marc has travelled the globe and encouraged hundreds of thousands of young people to dream big and reach their full potential in life.  Mero, renowned as both a professional wrestling superstar and a leading motivational speaker, joined forces with Ben Veal—an award-winning journalist and host of the Wrestling Life podcast—to deliver Badd To Good: The Inspiring Story of a Wrestling Wildman. Marc's compelling memoir guides readers through a powerful journey of resilience, faith, and triumph over adversity. Featuring forewords by wrestling legends and former world heavyweight champions Diamond Dallas Page and Lex Luger, alongside contributions from industry icons like Mick Foley, Eric Bischoff, Vince Russo, Justin Roberts, and Erik Watts, Badd To Good offers an unfiltered, real-life underdog narrative. It chronicles Mero's transformation from chaos to redemption, serving as a testament to conquering life's greatest challenges and discovering renewed faith and purpose beyond the darkness. Those with ears, let them hear.

In this episode of Wrestling Soup, hosts Anthony Thomas and Kevin Castle dive into the history and culture of tattoos, particularly focusing on the changing perceptions of tattoos in society and wrestling. The discussion kicks off with Bianca Blair's recent invasive tattoo removal and Kevin's personal experiences and observations on the culture surrounding tattoos since the early 1990s. They touch on the illegal tattoo scene in New York, societal and safety concerns from past decades, and the evolution of tattoo trends in various subcultures including wrestling, rock, and hip-hop. The hosts analyze the idea of tattoos as an outlawish and now mainstream element, sharing personal anecdotes and talking about notable wrestlers with tattoos, such as John Cena, Chris Jericho, and Cody Rhodes. There's a detailed reflection on the motivations behind removing tattoos, including professional and personal reasons. The episode also delves into the potential Hall of Fame induction for Lex Luger and his complex personal history, covering aspects of redemption and the potential role of Sting in the induction process. The segment concludes with thoughts on John Cena's recent appearance and his unchanged persona, as well as future predictions for notable wrestlers.00:00 Introduction and Hosts00:06 Bianca Blair's Tattoo Removal Journey00:15 Tattoo Culture in the Early 90s00:38 Illegal Tattoo Practices in New York02:32 AIDS Scare and Tattoo Safety Concerns03:07 Famous Tattoo Artists and Personal Experiences04:44 Tattoo Trends and Cultural Shifts08:02 Tattoo Removals and Personal Reflections11:31 Professional and Personal Motivations for Tattoo Removal17:43 Final Thoughts on Tattoos and Future Plans20:44 Discussing Celebrity Tattoos21:48 Wrestling Icons and Their Ink22:56 Cody's Controversial Neck Tattoo24:52 John Cena's Stagnant Image30:26 Lex Luger's Hall of Fame Induction32:40 Personal Reflections and Closing RemarksBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.
